So what?  The desktop is where everything happens in the modern world.
There is no way to escape the desktop.

If the power grid were to ever fail, permanently, then that would
indicate that civilization itself was failing.  It wouldn't just
be the power grid, but also the natural gas lines, the food supply,
the medical supply, etc., etc.  One would be fucked from all
directions.  There would be no time for books.  All effort would
be directed toward keeping your jealous neighbors from ransacking
you property.

But civilization will not fail.  I have faith that the power will
always be available and I will be comfortable with my e-books at my
desktop.
